Where you communicate with us by email, your information may therefore be processed through Google’s systems as part of providing our business email service.
7. Website cookies and analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to ensure that the website operates correctly and, where applicable, to understand how visitors use the website and improve its performance.
The specific cookies and third-party services used by the website may change as the website develops.
Where consent is legally required for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, we will seek that consent through the appropriate website mechanism.
8. Embedded and third-party content
Our website may contain embedded content or links to third-party services, including video, social media or other external websites.
For example, project pages may contain embedded videos hosted by Vimeo.
Third-party websites and services operate under their own privacy policies and terms. We recommend reviewing the relevant third-party privacy information when using those services.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including where necessary to:
- Maintain business and project records;
- Meet contractual obligations;
- Comply with legal or accounting requirements;
- Resolve disputes; or
- Protect our legitimate business interests.
Retention periods may therefore vary depending on the type and purpose of the information.
10. International transfers

Where personal information is transferred outside the EEA, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is made in accordance with applicable data protection law and that appropriate safeguards are in place.
